Green

Truex, one of three Toyotas in the top three starting spots, started on the pole Sunday. He was immediately challenged for the lead by Bubba Wallace as things got underway in Florida.

On the move!

Byron worked his way up to second early in the race and eventually captured the lead coming into Lap 21.

Battle for the lead

Larson, the first driver to secure a Championship 4 berth, had closed in on Brad Keselowski late in the opening stage, as things continued to heat up on and off the track. He built his lead up to 1.2 seconds with seven laps to go in Stage 1.

Trouble!

Ricky Stenhouse Jr. got into the wall on the exit of Turn 2 on the backstretch and went for a spin, bringing out the caution to end Stage 1.

Meanwhile, Larson picked up the opening-stage win, followed by Keselowski, Blaney, Byron and Truex.

Close calls

The green flag was back out on Lap 86, as the second stage got underway. Larson and Keselowski had largely driven away from the rest of the field early in the stage, with Larson building his solo lead to more than four seconds midway through.

Elsewhere, Blaney overtook Keselowski for second, but that was still over five seconds back of Larson for the lead with 30 laps to go in Stage 2.

Making a statement

With less than 20 laps to go now in Stage 2, Blaney started to close in on Larson and chip away at his lead. He went on to overtake Larson and pick up the win in the second stage.

Blaney, who has never made it to the Championship 4, earned 10 critical stage points — plus a playoff point — in the process. What’s more, the winner of Stage 2 has gone on to win the past four races at Homestead-Miami.

Rounding out the top-five finishers in Stage 2 were Byron, Larson, Hamlin and Keselowski.
